......is the phono ground lug. Perhaps you are using a Rega arm?

The blue RCA at the front is a battery test pint only. It simply means you do not have to pull the preamp apart just to check battery health. Battery life is about 100hours.

Thanks for the nice comments.

    No not a battery charge point. Four screws hold the bottom on once removed battery replacement is simple.

      His other question was about a ground connection for the turntable. Most turntables have a separate ground wire and most phono stages have a ground lug. How do you ground your turntable and/or tonearm to the phono stage?

        As you may know Regas don't have grounding wires. I have a new Rega p3 so grouding not required and there is no hum.
        
        In the past I have put a grounding terminal on my phono stages. If your TT had a ground wires you could use an alligator lead to go from the wire to the switch on the phono preamp.
